Weydon School

Takes everything too seriously.
Staff don’t take jokes.
There’s a lot to say but I’m not wasting my time!
Little to none clubs and activities and every toilet is locked so why did they spend money on toilets and lock them all??!

Wonderful school, wish i could stay forever

Good schoolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Seems to have slipped off the side of a cliff, not the best school although ok if you are academic as it will help with their stats. Sad to say this but avoid it at all costs.

This place made me want to end my life, I was struggling for years here and the teachers did nothing, I have been bullied - including physical harm the teachers simply don’t care the food was extremely overpriced, not to mention the one time I tried one of the fruit pots they sell there it fizzed in my mouth. If you want your child to have a decent childhood you will not send them to this school, not only this but the needles around the school and the frequent drug use by students makes for an awful experience. The toilets for boys are covered in urine and there was never any toilet paper either.

The staff at this school are all in on a scheme to try and make this appear to be a good school. It is not. They cover up everything bad at the expense of all the students there.
If you complain about anything - bullying, drug use, poor education, sexual misconduct, etc - they will try to bury it first, then they will try to threaten you to keep quiet by turning it into your fault and getting people to gang up on you.
This school without doubt destroyed my education. I arrived here from another county, had never taken drugs or had any sexual experiences.
To cut a long story short within a year I had been harassed everyday to take all different drugs and do all kinds of sex acts. Virtually everyone in that school has taken every substance and done every sex act by age 14. It was horrible, they know what goes on and they don’t even try. I got robbed lots of times as well.

Horrendous school. Full of drugs, bad behaviour, poor discipline, violence, bullying, thefts, sexual intimidation, and worse.

The school touts themselves as however amazing by holding up their grades performances and that's it. The reality is it's only because they are on the better side of Farnham that they get people who are a bit more intelligent going there anyway. NOT because of any good teaching that is done there.

I was bullied constantly, and every time I reported it the staff just went looking for ways to make it MY fault. I later learned it's their strategy to shut people up and avoid them looking bad because they can't accept any incidents of bullying.

Out of my 12 teachers, I would only rate ONE of them as good. Six of them were appalling bullies, and the rest neither cared nor wanted to be there any more than I did.

My education was ruined because of this place, please, please, please do NOT be fooled by any of the ratings this place gets as the leagues table is heavily skewed.

I really do not recommend. I have had so many bad experiences at this school which has lead to mental health issues. You get a detention for not doing well regardless if like me you have a lot of learning difficulties. Most of the counsellors where awful and try to make you leave regardless mental state, my counselor kept booking other people in my slot that was clearly booked for me, and a few years later refused to give me appointments because I was "fine" when 1. they didn't even check on me and 2. I had a big stage of depression and trauma. I was always being bullied, even in front of a teacher and they did literally nothing about it. In regards to uniform... god forbid you come in a coat that isn't black or blue or if you wear your kilt slightly above your knee, if you ask a teacher how they spotted it they will reply with "I didn't know where to look". I know multiple friends who have been sexually harassed whether it being verbal or physical. And oh boy... crime rates... underage sex, drugs, gangs... the drug issues this school has is horrifying, drugs getting dealt in hallways and people trying to deal them coming to school looking very beat up. We would be made to sit outside in freezing cold weather. if you have a learning disability you will get the label of "Keller Kid" yet to receive much help. My business teacher kept calling me out in front of my class to say how bad at the subject I was. all in all some teachers were absolutely lovely but otherwise I don't recommend

I suffered my entire time throughout this school and not at any point did I get help. I was severely bullied (to the point where I was getting hit), being groped in the hallways and as a result of this and other factors I was incredibly suicidal. The only point that they would care about this is if I killed myself. They don’t care about anything except your grades and if you don’t do well with classes then instead of looking for ways to help you they just look at ways to bury you. I had a severe condition that made miss out on a important year of my GCSEs and I was suffering everyday. They wouldn’t let me go home as it would “effect their attendance records” even when it was told to them by my doctor that if my condition took too much of a toll on me like it did every day then I was to go home and rest and they could send me the work which they never did even on the days that I was off because it got so severe I couldn’t walk. My depression and anxiety worsened with everyday I was there and my mum was doing everything she could do for me outside of school but she needed help from them in school. I’m still suffering the damaging effects of that school almost two years down the line. I was supposed to have a written statement from them and my doctor to be sent to the examination board and yet even though my doctor completed it, the school didn’t send it off resulting in myself getting unfair GCSE results not reflecting on the fact that I missed arguably the most important year. Apart from the lack of caring about mental well-being and only caring about their grades, the school have one of the most severe drug problems I think possibly in the country. There was kids doing weed, coke, ketamine and smoking/drinking actually on the school grounds. I was incredibly lucky enough that I didn’t fall into the wrong crowd because there was and still is a lot more bad than good in that school. The police have had to come in on several occasions due to the drug issues and weapons that students have had on them. I remember sitting in a class and a student showing another a knife in their bag and the teacher couldn’t see. I was honestly petrified so I was quiet because I didn’t trust the school. Weydon school knows about the horrid school that they have become so much to the point that if you’re one of ‘the bad kids’ then the day Ofsted comes you go on a special trip to someone so they don’t see the bad. So many of the teacher there have a cold and heartless demeanour and I completely understand that teaching is a long and hard job but the things I’ve heard teachers say is inexcusable. Weydon school is a horrid place filled with evil and terror and I know that sounds dramatic but after experiencing it for 5 years, it honestly killed a part of me that I’ll never be able to get back.

so much bullying and harassment within students and the teachers dont care

Outstanding facilities and teachers. A real pleasure to be a student there. Not as relaxed as other schools, but create a well rounded student that appeals to colleges and universities.

Had a great time there, great facilities, teachers were friendly and supportive and helped me get the GCSEs I wanted
